Rancid

It's nothing, it's so normal you
Just stand there I could say so much
But I don't go there cuz I don't want to
I was thinking if you were lonely
Maybe we could leave here and no one would know
At least not to the point that we would think so

Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking about
Somebody else
It's best if we all keep it under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good

This don't mean that, you own me
This ain't no good, in fact it's phony as hell
But things worked out just like you wanted too
If you see me out you don't know me
Try to turn your head, try to give me some room
To figure out just what I'm going to do

And everyone here, hates everyone here for doing just like
They do
It's best if we all keep this quiet instead
And I couldn't tell, why everyone here was doing me like
They do
But I'm sorry now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good

Everyone here, is wondering what it's like to be with
Somebody else
Everyone here's to blame, everyone here
Gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain, everyone hides
Shades of shame, but looking inside we're the same, we're
The same
And we're all grown now, but we don't know how
To get it back to good

Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking 'bout
Somebody else
It's best if we all keep this under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But it's over now, and I don't know how, it's over now
There's no getting back to good

The phenomena you are about to witness
could well revolutionize your way of thinking
We are presenting startling facts and evidence
that take up where explanations leave off

Some of these revelations will very well go against things you have been taught
And perhaps believed all your life
Prepare yourself for the evidence that will follow...

Jesus and his ??? wage a final war
Religious self-prestigious keep the quest for the holy grail
The eye atop the pyramid is open and awake
The Pagans hold the rituals and the fire won't begin to say:

Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Come along and tell your sister and your brother.

The force of war, dynamite blast
Rides on the weak and the poor
Don't want to see my brother in pain when the man fights big man's wars
Don't know nothing 'bout no red, white and blue

Little men, big ???
Too many win, nobody lose
??? choose

Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Come along and tell your sister and your brother.


The conscience of the public can not be put to sleep
The conglomerate of the nations has no bounds in which they seek
Was it the Mob tellin' the CIA to install/restore this state of fear
How many of us wish we were up to Kennedy's ear?
Say:

Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Come along and tell your sister and your brother.

See them try to rule the world
We don't know why
Why they want to rule the world
Cuya ???

Only white men and black men's..??? the white power ???
The guns of mass destruction, them fighting about
Buying the world is only so much money
Here they come ??? in the knees

World wide hunger ??? one fear
Well gangster treaties who keep us in fear
How much more cannot people deal?
Need no more division


Need no more pride and I, I will keep on fighting to keep what's mine
We the people speaking our mind
And once more, would you say it for me now?

Dynamite blast of the force of war
Government rides on the weak and poor
Don't want to see my brother in pain no more
When the little man fights all the big man's war

??? victimize
Mental slavery with the clever disguise
Our prides on our people must rise
Decide your fate


Life won't wait!!!
Life won't wait!!!
Oh, life won't wait!!!

Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Come along and tell your sister and your brother.

Division is the new world order.

Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
But it was and you are, lighted darkness come through

Silhouetted palm trees backing it up against the sky
Echo Park sunset, an ambulance drives by
But someone went down
And I wonder who
Faces flash forward, it could be anybody I knew

So I drank like a fish and I crawled like a rat
Through the city of shit I ended up on my back
But I can't believe you're with me after dark
So let it come together in Echo Park

And I say
Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
But it was and you are, lighted darkness come through

A red flag and your body wins
Or a snake bite, gotta start again
So I'm fucked up and watching TV all day
I don't wanna see what Ricki Lake gotta say

And it hits me when I'm alone, I'm an angry man
I start singing to myself I got dealt a shitty hand
With all these feelings my heart could explode
So is it not fear, knowing it all

And I say
Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
It was and you are, lighted darkness come through

Nah nah nah nah nah

Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
But it was and you are, lighted darkness come through

come into the union district
drive down on sharmon palms
white ghettos paint a picture
broken homes and broken bones
i was so full of scotch i could not stand up
i was hittin the shots and i moved to a cup
release me from moral assumption
total rejection total destruction
nihilistic feelings are moving if i try real hard
i'll see right through them

nihilism!

walkin a path of self destruction
not affected by the repercussions
lady on the billboard offer me a drink
said not right now i need time to think
nihilistic feelins are movin
if you try real hard
you'll see right through them

i was so full of scotch i could not stand up
i was hittin the shots and i moved to a cup
white ghettos paint a picture
broken homes and broken bones

Never fell in love
until I fell in love with you
Never know what a good time was
until I had a good time with you
If you wanna get the feeling and
you wanna get it right
Then the music gotta be loud for
when the music hit I feel no pain at all

Warm summer night I was drinking with my dad
He tried to give me the love that I never had
But he gave more love to his bottle of wine
So I had to go out and find love of another kind

Here it is, Here I am
Turn it up fucking loud
Radio, Radio, Radio...
When I got the music I got a place to go
Radio, Radio, Radio...
When I got the music I got a place to go

Radio clash magnificent seven
I was a choir boy you showed me no heaven
Two tools surely lost
No remorse ignoring the cost

Here it is, Here I am
Turn it up fucking loud
Radio, Radio, Radio...
When I got the music I got a place to go
Radio, Radio, Radio...
When I got the music I got a place to go

Don't 'cha know?

Here it is, Here I am
Turn it up fucking loud
Radio, Radio, Radio...
When I got the music I got a place to go
Radio, Radio, Radio...
When I got the music I got a place to go

When I got the music I got a place to go
When I got the music I got a place to go
When I got a place
When I got a place
When I got the music I got a place to go

When I got the music I got a place to go!!!
When I got the music I got a place to go!!!
When I got the music I got a place to go!!!
When I got the music I got a place to go!!!
When I got the music I got a place to go!!!

back up everyone was fed
Do not bill the abandoned buildings,

Neighborhood watch said we gotta put a stop,
can't have people livin' for free call the cops.
Here comes the SWAT team, and the M-16,
shoot the walls in, destroy the building.
Wolverine was sad and it made him mad,
every single cop got a bullet in the head.

Come on baby won't you show me what you got there

When you're paralized by your lack of resistance

She know she is

Down below where the fire glowing
Tenderloin

The tricks she gets them she's not a victim
She makes a list of them and reads them all alone
For money she's walking down on larkin'
In T.I. they'r rocking all night long

War between lies
War between something that was deep inside
You was wrong all along

Shots rang out in the oakland winter
Can't stand alone you can't stand together

No matter what they do they're l try to divide you

The scale hook the anchor to the gates of hell
Once you realize that it was so simple
What you given you can't take with you
I asked somebody if if they had the same vision
He said yeah i had the same vision

13 red and white stripes flying
White for skin and red for dying


Why can't i

And not feel like

Standing at the top and can't let go
Standin?can't take can't take that time
When i try sometime i can't stay high

Are you gonna be ready to use it
If you hesitate they're l pursue it
Good and evil erme from above
Death peace eternal love

Bleeding at the gates and i can't come in
Courage that abates a life of sin
Sure that it holds and it holds no others
With the lies of the brave and the kid don't matter

I went to Mary

Stand aside while she

You'd ask me and I'd say "What'd you say?
"You gave me your heart and then you're taking it
You gave it away
You gave it away
You gave it away
You gave it away
You gave it away

Bloody thursday was july 6th

The city shut down july 6th the workers outrage it was a general strike
The media clamed that the commies were taking over and some believed it
was true
3 uncompremising strikes was paved the way
Minn Sf and Toledo

Over and over again the doors are locked
and the windows are broken

Eddie worked for general motors and he swore
that he's never lose his job again
A union man who owned his own home
in beautiful flint michigan

Eddie lost his job and eddie lost his wife
So eddie lost his self esteme
The last time i saw eddie

Over and over again the doors are locked

They try to pull me in
Can't let that happen again
They try to do it again all on me

Sedation through the nation
We're screaming black and blue
Intoxication of a generation
We're screaming black and blue

The blind leading the blind
They told me i was dumb
They said their security system was too big to outrun
I broke away and i'm never goin?back
For all the souls they broke
Mine never cracked

Sedation through the nation
We're screaming black and blue
Intoxication of a generation
We're screaming black and blue

She's got a ticket and she's waiting at the station
She's got to get away as far as she can
Her problems will arise as sure as the sun shine
She's got to get used to living on the lam

Now marry's out the door with a loaded 44 in her hand
Shooting down the law that shot down her dear departed man

When i last saw her she was looking trouble
She said this is the 90's i'm gonna be alright
She took the greyhound into salinas
I got a letter that she dropped out of sight

Now marry's out the door with a loaded 44 in her hand
Shooting down the law that shot down her dear departed man

Shrouded in anger encompassed by pain
He was your best friend and you will never ever ever see him again

Now marry's out the door with a loaded 44 in her hand
Shooting down the law that shot down her dear departed man

Lock lock lock around
And affairs affairs of the nation

When the presure came down
Sustain autority

If you wanna make a move then you better come in
It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin
Living and dying and the stories that are true
The secret to a good life is knowing when your through...

...before she died
I bit the bullet on a motorcycle ride

...If you wanna make a move then you better come in
It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin
If you wanna make a move then you better come in
It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin

...before she died
I bit the bullet on a motorcycle ride

<i>[repeat 3x]</i>
You don't know my name
man you don't know my name

Paint a number on my head
work me 'til i'm dead
I can't believe i've wasted
all these years i've tasted

A million days and nights all this pain and struggle
All for what i ask all the hate and trouble

You don't know my name
man you don't know my name

Punch drunk from the punch clock
opportunity never gonna knock
No more blue collar
all the unions gettin' smaller

A million nights and all the pain and struggle
All for what i ask all the hate and trouble

You don't know my name
man you don't know my name

There's a place where i like to go
When i got no food or i got no shelter
It's a house where i can get away
For maybe 3 days
To get off the drink and stay off the haze

Who's the opposition i'm 7 years down
The human spirit prevails
Yeah I'm down down down

Woke up in the bushes 6:30 tuesday morning
With a unopenned heineken a head that was burning
For 7 years i walked the same path
Dreams of being loved was all i ever had

Who's the opposition i'm 7 years down
The human spirit prevails
Yeah I'm down down down

Hey little sister do you know what time it was
when you finally seen all your broken dreams
come crashing down your door
they demand an answer and they demand it quick
or the questions fade and the wasted days
come crawling back for more and I say

*do you know where the power lies?
and who pulls the strings
do you know where the power lies
it starts and ends with you

the face of isolation
well that's one you recognize
well you can't get straight
it's a lonely place and
it's one you do despise

boredom is for sale now
and helplessness you feel
it's a wounded dove and the hawks are above
blood splattered on a reel to reel

*repeat

I was almost over my world was almost gone
in a sudden rush I could almost touch the
things that I'd done wrong
my jungle's made of concrete
through silence I could feel
my aim is true I will walk on through
these mountains made of steel.

*repeat

Took the 60 bus
out of downtown Cambell Ben Zandito
he was on there he was waitin' for me
all the punk rockers
and the moon stompers
are out on the corners where
they sparing for change

I started thinkin'
you know I started drinkin'
you know I don't remember too much of that day
somethin' struck me funny when we ran out of money
where do you go now when your only is

*with the music execution and the talk of revolution
it bleeds in me and it goes
give 'em the boot the roots the radicals
give 'em the boot you know I'm a radical
give 'em the boot the roots the reggae on my stereo

the radio was playin' Desmon Dekker was singin'
on the 49 bus as we climb up the hill
nothin' incoming but the reggae drummin'
and we all come from unloving homes(I say)
why even bother I pick up the bohle
hey mr. bus driver please let these people on
rude girl Carol was a mini-skirt girl
my blurry vision saw nothin' wrong.

*repeat

Reconcile to the relief
consumed in sacred ground for me
there wasn't always a place to go
but there was always an urgent need to belong

all these bands and
all these people
all these friends and
we were equals but

when everybody goes on without you?

to the end to the end i'll journey to the end

started in 87 ended in 89

we got a million years
tourin' out like this hell

my friend came from far away

(repeat 2x.)
drunken bum

rats in the hallway again

in the dark with the okland skyline

all i wanna do is make it through without dying
all i wanna do is keep on trying

another night
in the streets for me
another night
no sanctuary
another night
come and watch me bleed
another night
in the streets for me

she wouldn't move until the coast was clear
she always knew the final battle was near
if you have a bag of dope she give it up for free
if you got a song of hope it will help her see

another night
in the streets for me
another night
no sanctuary
another night
come and watch me bleed
another night
in the streets for me

break down the fear
i got my animosity
i'm gonna breake it down

armageddon is coming so you better start running
cause the big wave is coming to the shore
no suprise that you see throu the lies
of the system that's rotten to the core

high tech survailance
paranoia and violence
keeping the city at a calm
break it down
tear it apart
the city going off
like a bomb

break down the fear
i got my animosity
i'm gonna breake it down

helicopters coming down on me tonight
my brother selling cocaine he knows how to fight
hounded and arrassed in a power elite bought
sun ain't arise so i abite by my route
i remember a cold december when i heard the revolution rock
didnt hear what they were saying i ran thru the mayhem of a police state on
my block
high tech survailance
paranoia and violence
keeping the city at a calm

break it down
tear it apart
the city going off
like a bomb

you're working like a monkey
who's been training by a sick junkie
on a mission to get money
for a new suit and tie

to wear to a reception
where they envy your deception
and give complements and praises to the ones they despite

practicing your smile in the mirror all the while
try to cultivate the style of the bastards in power
i know what they're selling
cuz their nervous twitch is telling
you're coming off smelling like the pig of the hour


(repeat 2x.)
i got a lot of people telling me i'm outta my mind
and i don't know why

my brain was bleeding and my fingers were proceding
through a notebook i was keeping since the dawning of time
senses were coroaded
you know that i was loaded
you were dealing i was reeling
from the feeling and the madness was consealing
it's a siren song
people that i trusted would surley have me busted
if they ever had a clue what was really going on

(repeat 2x.)
i got a lot of people telling me i'm out of my mind
and i don't know why (i don't know why...let's go)

every city got an artery where the blood
breaks down an avenue or a boulevard
and a boy who wears a crown
indigant live styles mplies simply lack of means
dogmatical authoritarians dictate the cities remains
a promise to go to heaven wont put salvation
in sight
Whirlwind is coming down on me
when the factory shut down so did the place
he lived blood money for junk bonds by a
white collar fugitive
all the tax free insentives ain't going to
help him now
generations of job security gone out
like the horse and plow
a promise to go to heaven wont put salvation
in sight
Whirlwind is coming down on me
my old man worked his troubled life
in a nowhere dead end he drank
the pain away i'll be damned if thats
me having my dreams robed
the working class carries a country
that has been rotting inside for years
the rigs cuffed my old man in the front
yard i saw through my eyes of tears
a promise to go to heaven wont put salvation
in sight
Whirlwind is coming down on me

i could not fit in
i was the one who got caught
i was the one who got realized
i was the one who got dropped
shut out banished and locked away
the knife that did me in i was carry to this day

rejected
crossing the bridges in the land of the forgotten
rejected

distrust existed that i never saw
deep seated trust i was a victim of

rejected...

unspoken among the more priveliged or the so called
i was not good enough not good enough at all
at first out of lonliness i tried to conform
but all that bullshit just left me alone

excuse me while i put i knife out of my back
how could i ever trust a person like that
along side the slow is someone moving faster
behind the warm image is a cold cold bastard

corporate liberal bullshit ruling fucking class
take your fucking money and shove it up your ass
take your lies ie had enough of you
and all the shit that you put me through
i'm injured

injury

i look for the truth its getting hard to find
money grabbing dragon and the tie you hide behind
im so fucking stupid with you i was a buyer
i believed in you you deceiving liar
set me fucking free

climb in
climb in
climb inside me.. pain

another night of drinkin?another night of beeing
out of my head and i don't know
where i was last night
drinkin?on a empty stomach
or an empty mind
it makes no difference when i'm way out of line
things i can't remember comes back to haunt me
a lot of people out there who seem to want me
climb in the bottle and never come out

i may know nothing but i'm good at something
i will drink till the sun comes up
no more one of these days gonna come out of my haze
better hurry up it's getting harder to come back

1987 at a 7-11
police out looking for problems
but im no average hoodlum
still running from the pigs so it seems to me
this is not the land of love and liberty
its more like a waiting room in hell
drink a qwart and watch me dwell
i got it right out in the trenches tonight
glass towers rise above the filth and the pain
im a moral degenerate feel my pain
pass out in a squat on mission
that night i was shocked into submission
straight down straight down to hell i head
systems of sewers is where i lay my head
people on their way are like on a different dimension
i need no correction
i got it right out in the trenches tonight
some of my friends moved on a simple domestic life
they're all gone only a few of us remain
only few of us want to keep in the same
i got it right out in the trenches tonight

so i packed everything i owned
midnight christmas eve
a kid could feel alone
i drink my scotch
my mind goes astray
midnight christmas eve
starts out in a way
i cried when i had no shoes
'til i met the man with no feet
it's just a
holiday sunrise
i suddently realized
i got no alibis
holiday sunrise
relatives of mine said
they were born again
fucked up world has made me born against
im a sinner and ny soul should be cleansed
i'll take my chances when im dead

kick the kick drum increase the weight of the sound
the dialog of maximum decibles is enough to move the fucking ground
i'm gonna amplify the rage of a class
that's thought inferior the message in the volume
this song a carrier

unwritten rules
rules understood
unwritten rules

boomin' out the speakers and amps in the hood
i like to drink beer play music and go to shows
it's not about paying your dues if you do it out of love
i'm not a jaded junkie running dry
i don큧 know anything else
i'll be playing till i die

Bloody thursday was july 6th the pigs killed 3 workers
